i trust Carbonda post-sales support, i'm expecting the new FM909 will be supported like previous models.
at 1800 gr in L size is 330 gr lighter than the Lexon Riot.

1800 gr is also new to me for a L size, could it be the difference between the normal and the super light?

Do we know something more precise about the weight?
Size L seems to be 1950 +-30 (I’ve asked them), website of carbonda says 1750, while flybike says Normal 1950, Super light 1650.
Thanks

my frame arrived few days ago...I'm very impressed with Lexon quality overall!
Large size came at 2130 grams with shock hardware (no rear axle )

Let us see the final assembly please!

So ere are headset options to run a conventional stem and handlebar. I just couldn't say no to that.

Thanks for sharing! It should look beautiful. I haven't asked but can you tell the price for the integrated cockpit?
Thanks

they asked me 100$ to book a frame.

.. but could be this frame is like FM936, so before anything else the "famous brand" owner should present a bike made with the FM909 frame...

Component Deals & Selection / Re: DT 240EXP hub clones Goldix, Venfort

i also want to share my experience, bought a pair of Velosa wheels with OEM hubs, DT350 replica it seems, below some pictures.
the ratchet wheel was very bad, i had multiple occurrences of "jumps" over the teeth losing traction on the pedal and it's very dangerous in my opinion especially when climbing.
i replaced the ratchet with original DT swiss 54T and it's like reborn, luckily for me since i wouldn't like to swap the full hub honestly.
on the front wheel, the hub is ok when mounted in the fork, but it has some loose when unmounted.

BTW can you see in the picture the bearing sitting inside the XD body? should i also change bearing in your opinions?

thanks!

What I like of the lexon riot is that it's not a spark's replica.
The weight is higher than carbonda fm936 and fm909.
And between 936 and 909 I'm also in doubt since I don't like the suspension scheme of the 909. Can a shock/geometry expert shed a light on this point, thanks
